Alice dated Mark Singleton briefly but those stakes were pretty low. Is there any character from Alice's past who should have been brought back onto the canvas in 1984 in order to make the best use of Alice?

To keep Alice out of isolation and just as a sounding board for Sally, TPTB should have tied her to a relationship with Carl Hutchins once he and Felicia called it quits. This would have put her in direct conflict with the Corys and Aunt Liz would have objected to the pairing.

Also, the show could have brought on a romantic pairing she had offscreen while she was in medical school or done a hospital storyline where she was front and center. She could have been Mac’s doctor upon her return to Bay City, and she overlooked medical information causing further complications from the stroke he had in March 1984.

Ross, Carl Hutchins’ hitman, could have tried to kill Alice as well if she learned too much about David Thatcher’s murder. In the summer of 1984, Ross tried to kill Aunt Liz by loosening the stairs to the Matthews’ basement and having her fall down the stairs and he killed Matthews’ cousin Julia. Ross never attempted to kill Alice.
